Au Revoir Clio, Hola Leon!

[jasonhlufc]

After 2 years of loyal (mostly faulty) service I decided to let go of my beloved 1.2 Dynamique Clio and get myself something fresh. After much thought I decided I would convert my loyalty to the Spaniards and got myself a 2.0 TDI 184 Leon FR and I absolutely love it!

Cheers! And its great, my first day I found myself speeding quite a lot but im used to it now it gathers pace without you noticing at all its really bizarre. 80mph in my Clio felt like 200, 80mph in the Leon feels like 20 haha

Always the way mate! Noticed that when I first got the 197. You need to touch the pedal far less, literally just hover over it do to 30!

I do enjoy the engine in the Leon, not rev happy at all just gotta surf the massive torque curve

Yeah I was happy with it and they were very happy to pay it. Sold the car within 10 mins of posting online so that was a bonus haha

Well after putting nearly 1500 miles on the car in my first month the engine has really started to kick in. MPG is averaging around 50mpg even when im driving it in a spirited manor and the overtaking capabilities are immense!
Got very ocd with it as well, giving it a wash at least 2 or 3 times a week!
